Description from the seller
This is a rare table-/ bedside lamp, likely produced in the early 1970s by "Yuzhmash" in the Ukraine. The lamp is designed in the shape of a space rocket, a symbol of the Soviet Union's celebrated cosmic achievements. The body of the lamp is made of clear, fluted plastic, which beautifully refracts the light, creating a dazzling visual effect. The base of the lamp is a multifaceted octagon, featuring a series of intricate silver-tone engravings on a black background.
